It would be a smart move for GM. They have too many redundant model lines, and too much internal competition for resources. Focusing on market specific vehicles (i.e. one for high end, one for low end, one for SUV’s etc.) would help them out immensely. It’s the same as the Japanese model. A Camry doesn’t compete in the same market as the Lexus.
I agree 100%. It would make GM a much leaner, more highly-focused company, and it means more resources will be available to develop future technologies such as fuel cells and maybe even long-range all-electric vehicles (new battery technologies now in development will finally overcome the problems that plagued the EV-1 electric vehicle).
